Abstract: An antenna system 3 comprises an antenna 31 connected to an electrostatic discharge ESD device 321. The ESD device may also be connected to ground and to a transmission medium 32 which connects the antenna 31 to a low noise amplifier 331 of a receiver 33. The transmission medium 31 may be a transmission line cable and the ESD device 321 may be one of a diode and a resistor. The amplifier 331 may be a bipolar, CMOS or CMOS differential arrangement. The antenna system 3 is intended for use in a compact wireless communication device. The integration of an ESD device into the base support member 313 of an antenna provides ESD protection for a low noise amplifier to which it is connected. This removes the need to locate such a device near the amplifier 331 where the space constraints are greater than that of the antenna 31. The system 3 allows a compact high frequency communication arrangement with ESD protection to be realised.

Title: Identification of insecure network nodes, such as spammers, using decoy addresses
Inventor: KALOGRIDIS GEORGIOS
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2007-09-07
Abstract: A method of identifying one or more insecure nodes amongst a set of nodes is disclosed. Each of a plurality of subsets of nodes is provided with a respective decoy address. For example, a first decoy address could be supplied to nodes 4, 6 and 8; a second decoy address to nodes 4, 10 and 12; and a third decoy address to nodes 4, 14 and 16 etc., as indicated in table 1. Receipt of messages at the decoy addresses is monitored and the combination of decoy addresses which have received at least one message is identified. An example is given on page 18 in which messages are received at the first five decoy addresses but not at the sixth or seventh decoy addresses. Knowing the combination of decoy addresses which received messages, it is possible to deduce which of the nodes are insecure. In the example of page 18 the first and second nodes 4, 6 are identified as insecure because neither was tested using the sixth or seventh decoy addresses and these were the only two addresses not to receive messages. This combinatorial approach lures insecure nodes into thinking that their behaviour is not being monitored. Non-adaptive group testing algorithms may be used to assign nodes to subsets for testing. The invention may be used to identify e-commerce web sites which collaborate in issuing spam mail to customers.
